Chapter 356 Sweet
Xu Fang came back to her senses, and chased two steps forward, but she couldn't catch up. She could only watch Xu Qi's figure disappear around the corner.
The cold wind blew on her body mercilessly, blowing up the half-new raccoon fur cloak, showing the girl's thin and slender figure.
Xu Fang is not weak and slender, but bright and majestic, but these days she has lost a lot of weight, and she looks a little fragile.
There were few pedestrians on the street, looking at the empty front, Xu Fang only felt a bone-chilling chill.
She closed the cloak that was fluttering in the wind, feeling that she had nowhere to go.
The servant girl who was standing far away because of the dispute between the siblings approached her and cautiously advised, "Girl, go back to the house, it's too cold outside."
Xu Fang looked back, and glanced at the closed vermilion lacquer gate of Changchun Marquis Mansion from a distance.
The stone lion squatting in front of the gate was cold and silent, just like her mood at the moment.
She doesn't want to stay in this home for a moment.
No, since her mother passed away, she has no home.
She thought that she still had a younger brother to depend on, but if the younger brother continued like this, he would become a **** who would not be recognized by her relatives. By then, she would not even have a younger brother.
What else does she have?
Xu Fang raised her hands, covered her face and wept silently.
She was full of hatred, but could do nothing about it.
The girl standing in the cold wind was pale and trembling.
The servant girl couldn't help persuading: "Girl, go back, if you catch cold, you will be the one who suffers..."
Xu Fang put down her hand and looked at the maid who persuaded her.
The servant girl's eyes showed genuine concern.
Xu Fang pulled the corner of his mouth slightly, and pulled out a self-deprecating smile.
Speaking of which, her personal maid, Hong Yue, was rewarded by her cousin, Mrs. Ning Guogong.
Because Hongyue was born in Ningguo Duke's mansion, the stepmother and others didn't dare to go too far.
The younger brother only blames her for pampering his cousin, but he doesn't know that she went to Ningguo Duke's mansion and was politely called a cousin girl, and when she returned to Changchun Hou's mansion, she didn't suffer much embarrassment and even helped her younger brother. In exchange for being close.
Except for blood relatives, there is no one in this world who is kind to people for no reason.
The relationship between the mother and the aunt is good. After the mother left, even if the aunt thought of love and cared for them when they were young, but once the high gate of the Changchun Marquis Mansion was closed, where could she take care of them?
One day or two days, one year or two years, without my mother, the close relationship will gradually become estranged.
She had the cheek to stay with her aunt for a long time. Although she wanted to use her strength, she respected her aunt sincerely.
The human heart is full of flesh, which is why my cousin treats her like a half-daughter, and she has the freedom to go in and out of the Changchun Hou Mansion.
But in the eyes of her younger brother, her elder sister has become a dog.
"Girl—"
Xu Fang blinked, smiled wryly and shook her head: "I don't want to go back."
Hongyue felt sour when she heard this.
I don’t want to answer one sentence, no one understands the difficulties of girls better than her.
She couldn't bear to persuade her any more, and said in a low voice, "The maidservant will accompany you for a walk."
"Okay." Xu Fang responded lightly, walking forward aimlessly.
It's snowing again.
In the gray sky, snow particles fell rustlingly, causing pedestrians on the street to quicken their pace.
No one wants to waste time on the road in this kind of freezing weather.
Xu Fang stepped onto Qingxing Street and walked slowly. When she recovered, she was already standing in front of a restaurant.
It was only past noon, and there was still a long time before a wine shop opened, and even the blue wine front shaking in the cold wind seemed a bit bored.
In front of the restaurant, it was lively.
Not long after, a tall and straight young man came out, with a lazy smile on his face: "It's just snowing, and the house sparrows are hiding, let's go inside and eat roasted sweet potatoes."
What kind of house sparrow are you catching? If you catch it, you won’t be able to eat it.
Thinking about the last time I happily caught a bunch of house sparrows, all of them fell into the master's stomach, that's all. He was chased and killed by Hongdou holding a fire stick and ran around the yard dozens of times, so I thought it was okay to catch house sparrows look for a job.
With this free time, wouldn’t it be nice to sit in the warm lobby and eat roasted sweet potatoes?
As soon as Hongdou heard the roasted sweet potatoes, he immediately forgot about the house bird: "Did Aunt Xiu bake the sweet potatoes?"
Shi Yan quickly nodded: "Miss Luo and Gu Xiu are roasting together, in the lobby."
Red Dou's eyes lit up, and he ran in with his feet up.
At this time, Shi Yan saw Xu Fang standing quietly not far away, and subconsciously pulled Hongdou.
"What are you doing?" Hongdou stared at Shi Yan puzzled.
Shi Yan pouted in Xu Fang's direction.
Hongdou turned around and blinked: "Miss Xu?"
She has a deep impression on Miss Xu.
During the days when the governor’s accident happened, there was a deserted restaurant. Although Miss Xu didn’t come to drink, she sent a maid to give a box of silk flowers.
Does she remember clearly that those silk flowers look so lifelike that they can even smell the fragrance.
The girl said it was because she sprinkled the fragrance, and also said that Miss Xu is a kind-hearted person.
In this case, it is barely okay for Miss Xu to be their girl's follower.
Hong Dou immediately had a smiling face: "Is Miss Xu coming to drink?"
Xu Fang woke up like a dream, and shook her head in embarrassment: "No wine."
She is still in the mood to drink.
Hongdou tilted her head to look at Xu Fang, and asked frankly: "Miss Xu is not in a good mood?"
Xu Fang shook her lips, subconsciously trying to deny it.
Hongdou laughed and said, "Then you have to drink more, it's not that drinking to drown your sorrows makes you more sad—"
Beside Shi Yan hurriedly tugged at her, and reminded in a low voice: "Wrong!"
These guards who follow the master have read enough less because they are concentrating on practicing martial arts. Unexpectedly, Miss Hongdou has even less ink in her belly.
"Uh, it's wine that can cure a thousand worries!" Hong Dou searched his brains and finally thought of the right word.
"Thank you, no need." Xu Fang smiled and turned to leave.
Up to now, she can't even figure out why she came here in a daze.
"Miss Xu?" Behind her came a girl's clear voice.
Xu Fang paused and turned around.
A girl in plain clothes stood outside the door, looking at her calmly.
"Miss Luo—" Xu Fang opened her mouth, but couldn't move her feet for some reason.
Luo Sheng came over and took Xu Fang's hand.
Maybe it's been outside for a long time, that hand is icy cold, colder than the floating snow particles.
Luo Sheng sighed in his heart, and said warmly: "Go in, there are roasted sweet potatoes to eat."
Xu Fang bit her lip and asked softly, "Are the roasted sweet potatoes sweet?"
Luo Sheng curved his lips and smiled: "It's very sweet, Miss Xu will know after tasting it."
Xu Fang stood there for a moment, then nodded slightly.
The two walked into the restaurant hand in hand.
In the lobby, there are people surrounded by the oven moved from nowhere, and the air is filled with the sweet smell of roasted sweet potatoes.
Hongdou kept urging: "Xiu Gu, are you alright?"
"Okay." Xiuyue raised her eyes and looked at Xu Fang who walked in.
